Exceptions to the above are listed below:

Use the special UIUC Literature scheme for Milton found on the following 5 leaves for works
both by and about the poet.

For works by or about Shakespeare, use the table in the Dewey schedules under
822.33, but note the following addition to that table between B (Biography) and D
(Critical appraisal): C (Biographic collateral and source material). This C division has received
considerable use in the past and merits retention. Also, under Y (Poems), delete "Use of these
numbers is optional."

The table for 829 Anglo-Saxon (Old English) literature has been shortened compared to Dewey 16.
Since we used all of the subdivisions in the earlier table, we will continue to use it; a
reproduction of the table follows:

Under I, K-S: Arrange texts chronologically by adding date to book number. If the book number
consists of a letter with a numeral or of a letter sometimes followed by a numeral, the date forms
the 3rd line of the call number; in the case of I and K, which are never followed by a numeral, the
date completes the 2nd line of call number.

When the date in the book is in the Old style at the season when that differs from the New
style, give the New style, give the New style date in the call no., and, in the imprint, give the
date as it appears in the book, followed by the New style date in brackets.

Arrange
criticism of individual works alphabetically by author. Use T, after the book
number, followed by the author's initial. In the case of the Major poems, an even number is
assigned for works about the text, hence 1 is omitted and the author's initial, in lower case,
follows the assigned even number.

Selections are treated as editions of the work from which they are taken. Adaptations, etc., if
they reproduce Milton's text verbatim, even in abridged form, are classified with editions of that
text, otherwise with imitations.

Note: In the detailed expansion of this scheme, contemporary criticisms of Milton's
controversial works are provided for so that they stand in their proper chronological places. In
such cases Y is used only for criticisms first published after Milton's death. The expansion
provides also for books that occasioned replies by Milton, so that they may be shelved with the
Milton collection, if desirable. Examples:
